π TAO February 2026 Release Highlights! π
Email verification & reset password
Users with verified email addresses now have the ability to reset their password from the TAO Portal login page.

Additionally, we are introducing an initial verification step (a code sent via email to validate that the user has access to that email) for any configured email.
For more information, see Managing your TAO Portal account.
Multiple sessions onsite proctoring
Proctors can now monitor multiple sessions at once by selecting them in the session list.
For more information, see Monitoring multiple sessions.

Release enhancements
TAO Authoring Updates & Fixes
Flexible navigation for the Entry Code PCI: The Entry Code PCI can now be configured so that, once the test taker reaches it, backwards navigation is either disabled or enabled. For more information, see Entry Code interaction.
Bug fix: Fixed the display of item preview for items with multiple columns (which previously displayed a single column in error).
These updates aim to enhance usability, efficiency, and the overall TAO platform experience. We welcome your feedback and remain committed to continuous improvement. Thank you for your support! π
